LACE AND EMBROIDERY STAND.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 352,396, dated November 9, 1886.

Application filed March 1, 1886. Serial No. 193,589. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MORRIS O. COHEN, of

Winfield, in the county of Cowley and State The object of my invention is to. provide a stand especially adapted for the display of laces or similar fine articles of merchandise, in combination with a movable screen or cover to protect the goods from dust and dirt.

The invention consists in the combination, with a standard or support, of radially-arranged frames to receive the goods, a canopycover, and means for raising and lowering the cover.

The invention further consists in the combi-. nation, witha standard, of a series of removable frames or supports to receive goods and an adjustable canopy-cover.

The invention further consists in the various features of construction and combination of parts hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective View of my improved stand. Fig. 2

Figs. 3, at,

is a vertical section of the same. and 5 illustrate parts in detail.

A represents a hollow cylindrical standard, which may or may not be formed with an opening, a, on one side throughout its length. This standard A is supported upon a suitable base, B, and is provided at some distance from said base with a collar, 0, and at its upper end with a cap-piece or collar, D. These collars O D are each formed with openings 0 and d, which register with each other to form bearings for the supporting-hooks of the displayframes E. As these frames are all of the same construction, a description of one will suffice for all.

Each frame E consists of parallel vertical strips or wires 6 e, connected by a series of horizontal strips or wires, F. The upper and lower wires F of the frame extend inwardly beyond the vertical wire 6, and are bent downwardly to form hooks G G, adapted to enter the openings formed in the collars of the standard, as shown. The horizontal wires F of the frame are braced together centrally by parallel bracestrips H. Upon each of the horizontal strips F of the frame are secured two wire holders, I. These holders I prefer to form of wire by bending the wire to the form of a rectangle, then bending it centrally downward over the strip F, and then upwardly upon itself upon each side of the strip F, thus providing a holder on each side of the strip F. These frames E, as will be readily seen, may be easily removed from their connection with the standard, and each frame is entirely independent of the others. The swinging movement of each frame is limited by forming in the collars O D radial grooves J, adjacent to the openings 0 and d.

K represents the canopy-cover of the stand, consisting of the canopy is and cylindrical frame k, which are designed to be covered with wirenetting, gauze, or similar material, to protect thegoods from dust, 850. This cover is provided with a centrally-depending rod, N,which enters the hollow standard A, and is adapted to freely slide therein when raised or lowered, the lower end of said rod being formed with a head, 0.

Any preferred means may beresorted to for raising and lowering the cover. I have shown, as one means for this purpose, a cord, 1, se-

cured at one end to the standard A, at a point. N

A, near the top of said standard, and passed down within the standard to pass under ahook, N, on the rod 'N, and passed up within the standard to pass over a guide, Q, and thence downward through an opening in the collar 0 to engage a catch, R, projecting from the base B.

From the foregoing description it will be clear that the display-frames E may bereadily removed for any purpose desired, and that said frames are supported in such aFposition as to display the goods to the best advantage. It will also be apparent that the goods may be fully protected by the removable cover, and that the latter may be easily raised when it is desired to show the goods.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is i 1- The combination, in a display-staud,with the standard provided with collars formed with openings, as described, of a series of removable swinging frames provided with depending hooks to rest in the'openings in the collars, substantially as described;

2. The combination, with the standard provided with collars, as described, of the frames E, having horizontal wires F, the upper and lower wires F being extended inwardly and bentdownwardly to form hooks G, substantially as described. Y

3. The combination, with the standard provided with collars, of the frames E, composed of the vertical strips 6, connected by horizontal strips F, said strips F being provided with wireholders, substantially as described. I

- 4. The combination, with the standard and with the frames, of collars mounted upon said standard, and provided with openings 0 and radial grooves J, substantially as described.

passed down within said standard under a hook, N, on the rod N, and passed up within the standard and over a guide, Q, and thence downward outside the standard, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribwitnesses.

MORRIS O. COHEN.
